Proper English, please.
Wow, that was fast. Almost as fast as the blue hedgehog, himself!
5 to 6 years of memories for me,
25 years of memories for many, if not all.
Thanks for having great ideas, STJr.!
As I'm still pretty young, I don't remember a lot of the things I did in this game. Heck! I don't even remember how my family found it! I think I remember asking my parents...maybe...?
It might've even been me who found it. After all, I found ROBLOX from a YouTube video all those years ago.
Anyway.
2.1.20
The version I found SRB2.
I was terrible at it. Obviously.
I started with Sonic. I remember being worried about the fact that he was described as "not suited for beginners."
I remember...my brother pointed out that Tails would be easier. He was slower. He could fly. I played as him, and he...wasn't wrong!
I don't remember the first emblem I got. I don't think it was the green club in GFZ1, it blended in too well (Ha!).
I remember not being able to join MP servers. I asked my dad. I deleted the config.cfg folder. It worked because my child brain changed the MS to something stupid. I was young, I had imagination. I don't remember my first MP experience, or my first addon.
I remember struggling with the 7th special stage maybe 4 years ago?...It's pretty easy now.
2.1.25
I was glad when the addon system became easier. Didn't have to memorize the filenames...
Where were the slopes? I was confused. I don't remember seeing any.
Not much difference from .20, though I probably first finished the game in .25...I don't remember.
Somewhere around there I was introduce to Mystic Realm. Couldn't get enough of it.
Mystic Realm...Emerald Isles...Tortured Planet...SRB2 Hub...Lots of stuff.
2.2.0 - 2.2.10
I was so excited when I noticed 2.2 had finally come out.
But I was sad when I first noticed it was a Torrent...how do I install a torrent?
A few days later, my brother pointed out there was a mirror download.
That did it. I started 2.2.0, and I was very happy.
The textural overhaul of everything, the new music, the slightly altered record attacks...(no more score emblems for levels!)
It was very pleasing. Nothing like what 2.1 was.
I occasionally forget that SRB2 is a fangame.
A few years ago(maybe one, maybe two) I decided to reinstall the latest version of 2.1, and something else...
2.0.7
When I first saw this, I was immediately confused by what I was looking at. The menu was...definitely not something I was used to. But, of course, I eventually got used to it.
The emblem system was kinda dumb. Some emblems seemed to be near impossible to get with the characters assigned to them.
The lack of third person mouselook was a bit annoying, and the fact that you couldn't strafe if you went too fast...eh.
Besides all that, 2.0.7 - 2.2.10 shows real progress. Real improvement. It's amazing. And it's why SRB2 is such a treasure to so many, no matter what versions they play or like. The game is universally loved, if you will.
Sadly, just minutes before I started typing this, I did something stupid. Now I have to start 2.2.10 over again.
But that's okay.
This game is all about being replayable, after all...!
